Machine Learning for Characterization and Analysis of Microstructure and Spectral Data of Materials 1Venkataramaiah Gude, 2Dr Sujeeth T, 3Dr. K Sree Divya, 4P. Dileep Kumar Reddy, 5G. Ramesh Submitted: 09/12/2023 Revised: 18/01/2024 Accepted: 02/02/2024 Abstract: In the contemporary world, there is lot of research going on in creating novel nano materials that are essential for many industries including electronic chips and storage devices in cloud to mention few. At the same time, there is emergence of usage of machine learning (ML) for solving problems in different industries such as manufacturing, physics and chemical engineering. ML has potential to solve many real world problems with its ability to learn in either supervised or unsupervised means. It is inferred from the state of the art that that it is essential to use ML methods for analysing imagery of nano materials so as to ascertain facts further towards characterization and analysis of microstructure and spectral data of materials. Towards this end, in this paper, we proposed a ML based methodology for STEM image analysis and spectral data analysis from STEM image of a nano material. We proposed an algorithm named Machine Learning for STEM Image Analysis (ML-SIA) for analysing STEM image of a nano material. We proposed another algorithm named Machine Learning for STEM Image Spectral Data Analysis (ML-SISDA) for analysing spectral data of STEM image of a nano material. We developed a prototype ML application to implement the algorithms and evaluate the proposed methodology. Experimental results revealed that the ML based approaches are useful for characterization of nano materials. Thus this research helps in taking this forward by triggering further work in the area of material analysis with artificial intelligence.

Introduction With respect to growing research in nano materials and their characterization, there is increasing role of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) . It is indispensable in the research of nano materials to understand and use AI based approaches for improving the designs and manufacturing of such materials. In this context, exploration of microstructures associated with nanomaterials plays crucial role. At the same time ML based approaches are widely used to solve the problems indifferent domains. In manufacturing and many industries AI is being used for improving accuracy and quality in the designs. The role ofML is increasing in the study of new designs and implementation of nano materials [1] . 1Software Engineer, GP Technologies LLC, U.S.A. 2Department of Computer science and Engineering, Siddhartha Educational Academy Group of Institutions, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, India. 3Department of Computer Science & Technology, Madanapalle Institute of Technology and Science Madanapalle.
